burbuja0512 is spot on there. I got my current position from a post on LinkedIn in a similar fashion. I was obsessed with checking. I am not sure how much the premium account helped, but I was contacted fairly quickly after I hit "Apply". My profile was complete and up to date so that it was identical to my resume. I even forgot to attach a cover letter and resume to the submission. ( crazy how it just happens some times).
At my previous job, I was never contacted by anyone through LinkedIn. However, at my current position I am contacted 1-2 times a week by recruiters via LinkedIn alone. Again, as burbuja0512 mentioned, it is usually for lateral moves. Personally, I think its a combination of the industry you're in and your company's size/profile. Unless your a hiring manager, or actively looking for a new position, I don't know that the premium account is worthwhile.
